Ten Gallon

[~FairyAngelFish~]

How many male guppies can you fit in a ten gallon?

 

[Tempestuousfury]

I would say you could get ten. However, regardless of what type of cycling it is, you would need to add at most around three at a time to avoid spikes in ammonia and nitrites.

Would they like it better if there were like 5? More space?

 

[Tempestuousfury]

Yes. Then you could get bottom feeders, too. However, if you want a species tank (which you do), then this would not be something you want to do.

If you can keep yourself from buying more, then definitely.

Are you going to get the same color and tail variations, or different ones?

Well, I was thinking about all fancy guppies since that's all I find in the store. But I don't know... do the colors mean anything? They are all mixed up in each tank I visit.

 

[Tempestuousfury]

No, they don't matter. I just wanted to know if you wanted to go for uniformity or not. Up to you.

LOL All different colors are prettier! U've helped me a lot on these boards

 

[Tempestuousfury]

That's all I do here. "View new posts" and look for people who need help.

No chit chat or anything??? LOL I'm too excited to decorate the new tank!

 

[Tempestuousfury]

Oh. Is it going to be planted?

Did I mention fluorescent lights and proper wavelengths to accent the colors?

And no chit-chat. Very dull and this is as chatty as I get online.

 

[~FairyAngelFish~]

LOL
Well I don't think I could ever deal with real plants right now. Are fake ones okay? And er... pardon me but what exactly are wavelengths? )

 

[Tempestuousfury]

Physics matters. Wavelength, frequency, magnitude, etc.

Wavelengths give the colors of the rainbow (in the visible spectrum). Most lights bring out the red and blue colors.

Fake ones are ok. I prefer live because I like for my tanks to look natural (yet I have two neon caves which I am to cheap to replace ).

 

[~FairyAngelFish~]

Hehehe I never knew the lights actually bring out the colors. hahaha idk why i'm laughing That would be cool to keep real plants but I will when I'm more educated haha lol i'll shut up now
